Hi all! Well, good news ! ok I went to my new pain Doc. He is "WONDERFUL", compassionate, loving, sympathetic, etc. ok, Dr. said he has seen 100's of patients with this most awful and most chronic pain anyone can ever go through.(said this RSD he also calls it CRIBS, is rare.. I didn't know this!) My stage is stage 2. Ok, THANK GOD no paralyzing my entire arm.. He said since three ganglion blocks didn't work, why even get more of these blocks done, being it my right hand, wrist, arm and shoulder. He was however mad that I was only given Vico- prophen (Vicodin with Motrin,xtra strenth.) He put me on Kadian(Time released morphine) It is a small capsule that I have to take once a day.(Their real small, but work all day and night) I have not taken 1 yet. ok.. he said he can put this RSD in remission by it just burning itself out!)<HOPE! So, he is sending me to extended (long lasting physcial therapy for as long as it takes, along with the medication>(He upped my Neurotin also at night to 600mg.) he said the dose I'm on is too small. I can drive when "He" says so. so this is what went on today. Yea!!! I finally found a good pain management Dr.who understands!!! Love, and God Bless you all! Love, Desi Oh, he gave me a web site to google it is Web MD.com
